Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02076819A1] A system for transferring fluid from a vessel to a shore-based facility, characterized in that in the system is included at least one vessel and at least one buoy structure which is established in the unloading position. The vessels travel in continuous shuttle traffic between the loading station and the buoy structure and are organised in such a manner that at least one of the vessels is periodically connected to one of the buoy structures with the result that the fluid is conveyed from the vessel through the buoy and directly ashore via a pipeline system for further distribution of the fluid. The invention further comprises vessels with storage tanks for storing natural gas in its liquid state, a vaporizer for regasifying the liquefied natural gas on arrival at the unloading point and a buoy structure arranged in the bottom area of the vessel's hull for transferring natural gas from the vessel to a submerged pipeline system.
